About Lake Lucerne, Lucerne

A little outside of Lucerne, the ride to Lake Lucerne is just as picturesque as the destination. Many a poets swear by the beauty the lake emanates and you’ll be mad as a hatter if you don’t see it for yourself. With a promise for an indescribable view, at first sight, Lake Lucerne is reminiscent of a fjord (save the weather of course) that seems to extend its way to the mountains and make way around them.

Lake Lucerne has everything- majestic peaks, limestone cliffs, thick forest cover attracting Alpine wildlife and vast expanses of blue water. Rightly called the Lake of the Four Cantons in German, a cruise ship on Lake Lucerne is sure to make it to your bucket-list if it hasn’t already..

We enjoyed sitting along the Promenade watching people, boat traffic, the swans and tall Alp peaks across the water. What a lovely peaceful late afternoon.
The water is clear and enjoyed by everyone and everything that can. The Promenade is within easy walking distance of the city center, several hotels, and many fine restaurants, but it feels like its out in the country. This is an easy place to relax and enjoy the moment.

It's one of the most beautiful views in Lucerne. There are parks before the lake which can keep kids entertained while you can enjoy the view of the Swiss Alps and watch the boats, swans, and ducks move on the lake surface.

Lake of Lucerne is the fourth largest lake in the country! There are boat trips available, from the center. Boats ply between the different villages and towns, making shorts stops for passengers to leave or get on. You can also take a long stroll alongside of the lake, but if there is an opportunity I do highly recommend, to take the boat. It takes, to further parts of the lake, close by the mountains. The most spectacular, picturesque lake I have ever seen.

I enjoyed the afternoon sun with a drink in front of the lake. The lake is beautiful.
